![]() ![]() It replaces the Microsoft Excel Viewer 2003. The latest version of Microsoft Excel Viewer can read the file formats of all versions of Excel. However, it will not display newer features. The Excel Viewer can open the latest version of Excel workbooks. Additionally, the Excel Viewer can open workbooks that were created in Microsoft Excel for Macintosh. The Microsoft Excel Viewer is a small, freely redistributable program that lets you view and print Microsoft Excel spreadsheets if you don't have Excel installed. For the Excel mobile app, go tothe appropriate store for your device: ![]() To continue viewing Excel files for free, we recommend that you install the Excel mobile app or store documents on OneDrive or Dropbox, from which Excel Online can open the files in your browser. It no longer is available for download or receives security updates. (Even Hitler is upset to learn Google Reader is shutting down).The Microsoft Excel Viewer was retired in April, 2018. What will you be using to read your RSS subscriptions? I know many people say RSS is "dead," but I think there will always be a large enough group of RSS users to support a healthy ecosystem of products in this geeky niche. I'm not totally sure what I'll end up using, but like Marco suggests I think we'll see a lot of innovation and new players in RSS over the coming months. And for this reason they have a head start on anyone else. They've nailed the most important part: the reading experience. I would certainly pay for that, and I'm willing to bet others would, too. Or perhaps they could build their own sync service (and sprinkle a web UI on top). This is a huge opportunity, in my opinion, for the Reeder team to transparently ditch syncing through Google Reader and instead switch their suite of apps to sync through iCloud. In fact one friend claimed he used Reeder instead of Google Reader, and replied "well I'll be damned" when I pointed out it only works when hooked into Google Reader. But it hides this fact ever so elegantly. The downside is that it currently requires a Google Reader account - it does no subscription management of it's own. ![]() To me, it's the perfect reading experience. FeedHQ will be a paid service, but appears to be free during the beta testing period.Reeder? FeedHQįeedHQ is a feed reader "built with readability and mobility in mind." They offer some unique features, including syntax highlighting (for readers of programming blogs) and keyboard shortcuts. It's a hosted service and appears to be free, though there is no explicit mention of this. I haven't tried The Old Reader but they claim to offer an experience "just like the old google reader, only better." They're currently in beta, but you can import your feeds and give it a try. Looks like a pretty good service, though their servers are currently slammed with traffic. They have a free version of the service with some limitations (like number of feeds, stories, and "Feeding poor Shiloh") and a premium version for $1/month (seriously). It's got a web-based reader and clients for iPhone, iPad and Android. NewsBlur is a hosted service for managing your RSS feeds. I used NNW years ago, before Reeder came out, and was overall pretty happy with it. The downside to this, of course, is that your subscriptions won't be synced across devices. Although most people use it to sync with Google Reader, it does also support standalone mode. ![]() NetNewsWire (NNW) is an RSS reader with versions for Mac, iPad and iPhone. Likely worth the reasonable $30 price tag. And since it's built by Shaun Inman you know it'll be beautifully designed. The more feeds you subscribe to, the better Fever works. The awesome thing about Fever is that it scans all the links in your feed and makes the "hottest" rise to the top. I like a more curated reading experience, and ensuring I don't miss articles from specific blogs & authors. To me, reading whatever is on Twitter is like mindlessly watching whatever happens to be on TV or listening to whatever the radio is playing.Īnd with that rant out of the way, let's find a new home for our RSS feeds! Feverįever is a self-hosted PHP app you install on your own server (like WordPress). I know that works for lots of people, but not me. Pre-emptive disclaimer: No, I don't consider flipping through links on Twitter/Facebook a replacement to RSS subscriptions. Here's a short list of some of the services that could fit the bill. And if you're one of those people who must have their RSS feeds pried from their cold-dead hands, I imagine you're looking for alternatives too. Now that Google Reader is shutting down, I'm looking for alternative ways to read my RSS feeds. ![]()
